Wild Elephants

Keep your myths
Keep your prayers
Keep your pretty
Fairy tales and lies

Night is dark
Winter's cold
Everything that's living
One day dies

One brief chance
To taste life
Then we disappear
Without a trace

One small speck
Blue and white
In the silent
Emptiness of space

And after
There's nothing more
No heaven
No justice
No purpose
No second chance
Why should there be?
